[libreoffice-users] Re: another funny one from ZdNet
The article is very pro-LibreOffice but so many of the comments have a hilarious amount of FUD in them. One wonders if they have ever even tried either MSO or LO. Most people who own StarOffice or many of its forks don't use it. They just open and print documents with it. If someone tried to actually use it as a word processor, he would find some of 5+ years old bugs and lack of features much earlier. Nowadays there is no free alternative to MS Office suite and costly third-party utilities: spellchecker, bibliography/formula editors and so on. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Perhaps, Urmas, you could be more specific about the putative «5+ years old bugs and lack of features» in such StarOffice forks as LibreOffice ? Otherwise, your comment must be regarded as a prime example of that FUD Tom mentioned above Henri -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

That's a hilarious statement from someone posting to a list dedicated to a free alternative to MS Office. When was the last version released? Are you talking about release of StarOffice or LO? No free alternative to MSO? No spell checkers, etc.? Something is not right somewhere. LO is touted as THE best alternative to MSO. How many spell checking dictionaries do you want? 200+ is my last count, with about 20 localized Spanish ones. My own American English one has over 797,000 words in it. Grammar checkers are the problem, though. No one makes one that works well for all its users. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
